On this sixth day of Christmas, I
am grateful that the Word became flesh and made His home among us. I no longer
have to wonder what is true or not. I have been given a gift. He has come and
made my heart His home. I don’t need to be deceived by the “voice of my own
thoughts”. I know that sin ruined that as a source of determining what is truly
true. Jesus Christ is the only true Word. His Word written is the only reliable
“plumb-line” by which to determine if the voice of my thoughts are true. I’m
not without a Compass with a True North. Grateful I am today!
HEARING MUST BE UNITED TO BELIEVING Hebrews 3:16-19 “And who was it who rebelled against God, even though they heard His voice? Wasn’t it the people Moses led out of Egypt? And who made God angry for forty years? Wasn’t it the people who sinned, whose corpses lay in the wilderness? And to whom was God speaking when He took an oath that they would never enter His rest? Wasn’t it the people who disobeyed Him? So, we see that because of their unbelief they were not able to enter His rest.” I have heard people say, “If I heard the voice of God. I would not rebel; I’d believe.” Others have said, “If I saw a miracle, I’d believe.” We really do not have a grip on the capacity for unbelief that is resident in the human heart and mind. The children of Israel saw God decimate the false gods of Egypt in the plagues He sent through Moses. The Lord God who had called Abraham made sure that Abraham’s children saw that the gods and religious culture surrounding them for 400 years were not gods at all...
